Succeeding With Agile

This two-day, advanced course picks up where the Certified
ScrumMaster and other introductory agile courses leave off. Drawing
and expanding on concepts in Mike's Succeeding with
Agile book, this course will help you move beyond initial
success to sustained agility.

Attendees should have a solid understanding of agile concepts
and the principles and practices of Scrum prior to tackling this
material.

Participants will learn advanced teamwork techniques, including
ways to subtly guide a self-organizing team and how to ensure that
all team members (including designers, architects, and testers) are
busy on each day of the sprint. They will discover ways to
effectively scale Scrum, in one location or on a globally
distributed team. The course will explore what it means to be agile
while meeting regulatory compliance requirements, how to overcome
common problems, and tools for measuring the benefits of agile.

Agile isn't a final destination; it's something you grow towards
each day. Learn how to iterate towards a higher level of agility,
no matter where you are on your journey.
